For experiments with elastic and inelastic collisions in two dimensions.
At the point of collision, the balls have no vertical motion, so the fall time to the floor is constant.
On the floor, the distance covered is measured in two dimensions.
This gives the horizontal components of the velocities and, from this, the momentum of each of the two balls can be calculated. The set consists of a curved ball track with mounting hardware, a plumb line, two 12 mm steel balls, one 12 mm glass ball,
and a hollow 25 mm wooden ball.
Necessary accessories are a Clamp (001510) and Carbon paper (199210).
